Session overview Revision activity: Circle pick-up Children each hold a ball as they walk in a circle. On a signal, they place the balls on the ground and pick up the next ball while continuing to walk. Variations include jogging and running. Skill activity 1: Kick and mark Child stands and kicks a drop punt to the helper coach. The helper coach holds the ball out to the side. The child runs in, jumps and takes a chest mark (taking the ball out of the helper coach s hand), runs around the helper coach and handballs to the next child in line. For progression, helper coach throws ball out for child to mark. Warm-up 5 Chaos In pairs, one child stands outside the square and the other inside the square with a ball. Children run in different directions and, on the whistle, the inside child finds his/her partner. Once together, the children start throwing the ball to each other, catching it on their chest 10 times (five times each). Children sit down when finished. Children swap roles and, for variation, are instructed to skip, hop, leap and so on. Chaos Caption 1 Caption 02 Teaching points Keep eyes on the ball at all times. Body in line behind the ball in a semi-crouched position. Extend arms with fingers almost touching the ground, palms towards the ball. Pick up the ball by placing fingers underneath it, with knuckles scraping the grass. Teaching points Line up the ball with your target. Have your head bent slightly over the ball.
